Good question, 2x absolute number but i’d want some assurances before going. There would have to be a path to a green card giving you the ability to eventually leave whatever companies sponsoring your visa.

To me the main selling point would be to cash in while waiting on a green card to eventually then leave Texas. The other thing is whatever they’re offering you is a low ball relative to what they’re paying an American and you’re going to be stuck with it for a while. So it should be enough where you’d feel comfortable not getting a huge pay bump over the years of waiting on the green card.

I would take a pay cut. Screw this country

It's worth it for the endless high paying job opportunities. You get promoted fast in the US, then you have so many networking opportunities and can job hop to quickly move your income up and move to a better area easily. It's not like that in Canada. Also, you can travel to LA and NY in just a couple hours for weekend trips. Texas isn't that bad and not much different than Toronto after awhile - you won't even notice any difference after a few weeks. I am from NY and have worked in Toronto and have worked in almost every state. It's not that different.

There is almost nowhere to find reliable bonus information on Canadian firms. I’ve heard of year end bonuses ranging from 10-50% this year (not including Covid bonuses). Let’s start a thread posting year of call, rough billable hours worked and bonus as a percent of salary.

5 year call. 1850 hours. 10%.

Evening! Dog owners who live in condo rentals downtown.. did you tell your landlord you had a dog?

I don’t want to invite potential conflict by updating my landlord, my lawyer partner says the no pets clause is void in toronto anyway - but I worry about a bad landlord reference if they find out i.e come for repairs.
